Loris Holland: A star behind the scenes

Although he might not say so himself, Loris Holland is kind of a big deal.

Holland certainly is no household name but over the course of a career that has spanned over four decades, the United States-based Guyanese has made his mark, working with a virtual who’s who in the music business, producing milestone albums and even earning himself a number of accolades along the way.

It was Holland’s dream to become a leading international recording artiste. It seems as though he has had to settle for helping to shape the careers of others, working behind the scenes to polish their shine a little brighter for us to enjoy.
